Why do they make bad sequels to good movies?

Question

I was just wondering why do people make bad sequels to good movies cant they just leave them alone. Every time they make a great movie they milk it with a bunch of bad sequels where theres only one or no actors from the first movie.There is to many to list so why do they do it I stopped watching sequels all together because of it. If you dont know the answer give me your opinion on the subject..

Answer 1

they make them for one reason only - MONEY!

Answer 2

do i need to spell it out for you?

M-O-N-E-Y

if the first one is successful in box office, dvd sales, and merchandise, chances are the greedy filmmakers are gonna write another one...

Answer 3

I am not like most people to where I love sequels even if they suck. But, an example to a good sequel is Pirates of the Caribbean. All three of those movies together are just awesome! Sometimes people just think that if the first one was so great let's make another one. Money is a big part of it, but some people (such as Johnny Depp) just like the character or movie and want to do it again.

Answer 4

Coz no one will watch sequels to "Bad movies"

Answer 5

This one is easy to answer. MONEY. They hope to cash in (see, money again) on the sucess and advertising dollars spent (money again) of the first one. It's like a match, just because it worked the first time, there is no guarentee it will work a second time.  

Answer 6

Just like everyone else here is going to tell you money.  They make a movie and don't know how it will do so they release it and in the case lets say rush hour everyones like OMG lets make another they rush a script and stars demand gobs of money and the film is rushed out to make all that money back and sometimes it works but usually it doesn't/  IN some cases a movie that is old (Raiders) and they make a new one the newer one may be good but you have memories of the old one and nothing can top it so its bad in your mind even if it is fantastic.
